Read 2 times. Last read March 31, 2018 to April 2, 2018.

The prose and pacing are pretty good, the characters are a bit thin, dialogue okay, the mystery adequate, but the book feels heavily padded by descriptive passages (although nicely observed and written).

I'll try another by Grafton, but I'm not optimistic.
